José de Rojas y Moreno

José Rojas arrived to Bucharest in 1941, denouncing the persecution policy
towards the Jewish people and adopting energetic attitudes against
deportations from the beginning. Likewise, he tried to improve their hard
life conditions. Rojas y Moreno came out with the initiative of making
posters and sticking them in over 300 Jewish houses saying: ”Here lives a
Spanish.”

Rojas y Moreno was responsible for the evacuation to Spain of 65 Jewish
Sephardim. In addition, he gave protection to the goods and estates of other 200 persecuted Jewish.
